YES. And I just fell down the rabbit hole of googling “fun hijabs”. Will report back soon.

And “christian” churches are “hotbeds” of misogynistic political speech, sometimes leading to violence. Should we be allowed to go into those as well and arrest pastors?

Do you ever suppose the Republican Muslim Coalition and Log Cabin Republicans hang out? Is it like how the goth kids sometimes used to sit with the theatre kids?

Nearly ALL celebrity Make-A-Wish requests get turned down. MAW specifically tells families not to make requests like this because of the high likelihood they won’t be fulfilled. From what I can tell, Ina had to turn down the requests because they conflicted with a book tour and other pre-scheduled events. As you can…

I blame the sharing economy.

Wow, it’s almost like abstinence education isn’t helping. Weird.

Working for the White House does not immunise someone from grand acts of profound stupidity (see Ben Stein’s entire body of work attacking the Obama regime)

How great would it be for the people running one of the debates to just hand the Republican candidates an unlabeled map of the Middle East and tell them to fill in country names? I’d say “and the leaders of those countries” but c’mon.

Queer. Some people prefer that word.

Are you willing to take a liberal Southerner as a refugee if you do this?

“Its funny how one minor bit of bad reporting leads to a LOT of bad reporting.”

what is intersectionality, alex.

And I know so many people—Muslims!—who are such unbelievably great people and they’re being so badly tarnished by what’s happening now.

I get that, I do. That being said, trans people of color started the movement and were literally pushed out of it once before. Most people when they learn the history of The Stonewall Riots do not learn about the key players, and they certainly don’t learn about the struggles those people went through afterwards to…

There are also plenty of Log Cabin Republicans and other gay cis people who don’t support queer rights.

Not sure one poor over publicized example proves a rule. A lot of us in trans community get angry at the GLB community because of its tendencies to throw us under buses and write us out of history but we often still support the GLB community. Partially cause a ton of us are GLB as this poll shows.

The movement has had problems with transgender and bisexual members. Trans and bisexual people are very often erased from discussion, and thereby any action for their rights is stunted. As the article says, if this sentiment originated from the trans community, I think it would warrant more unpacking. As it is…

The argument is basically just that white gays have completely forgotten that much of the privilege they enjoy was accomplished by riding on the backs of trans women of color.

So every trans, and nonbinary person who stood up during the stonewall riots (and marked the first serious public discussion of change in the US) doesn’t matter? Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson didn’t help spark a movement for this bullshit. This is literally the attitude hinted at in the movie Stonewall come to…
